What Guests Are Saying
Cobb Ridge offers a beautiful setting with friendly and helpful camp hosts who keep the campground clean and well-maintained. The trails provide a range of challenges for outdoor enthusiasts, and the spacious sites are easy to navigate. However, some campers noted a lack of maintenance and the absence of a dump station, as well as concerns about noise from ATV and dirt bike activities.

We love Cobb Ridge. It is a usually clean and well cared for campground. We take our atvs and ride and have fun with the whole family. If I ever notice anything out of place or broken, I just let the staff know and it is usually taken care of. We have stayed there in tents and campers.

My friends and I from KC, MO didn't come down near as much this year as there is now too much first come first served. It's not worth the drive to wonder if you'll get there in time and hard to manage. I understand the FCFS is for the locals but they can reserve a spot just like everyone else does anytime they want.
